The Fantasy Flutter – Gameweek 23

With tenner in hand, we go up against Paddy once again this morning. This time round, we turn to Sunderland’s new frontman, Liverpool’s young midfielder and Arsenal’s lone forward to boost our prospects of ending the weekend in profit.

We kick off at the Stadium of Light, where Jermain Defoe is set for his Premier League home debut for Sunderland against Burnley. With Gus Poyet determined to go on the attack and take advantage of some kind fixtures in front of the Wearside faithful, Defoe’s output looks key to the Black Cats’ survival. Paddy are offering 25/1 on Defoe to score two or more and Sunderland to serve up a clean sheet later today – we’ve a feeling he’ll make the difference against the Clarets and hand over our first £3.

Liverpool will be looking to bounce back from their midweek Capital One Cup exit as West Ham make their way to Anfield later today. With the Hammers nursing a number of injury worries, we’re backing the home side to do the business here – Paddy are offering 11/2 on Raheem Sterling to score and the Reds to keep a clean sheet and we’re confident enough to shell out another £3 for the Merseyside match.

Our final stop is at the Emirates, where Arsenal entertain out-of-sorts Villa. The Gunners have their tails up after defeating City on their travels last time around and with their visitors scoring once in the last seven Gameweeks, a win for Arsene Wenger’s side is highly anticipated. With Paddy offering 13/2 on Olivier Giroud to score two or more goals and Arsenal to keep a clean sheet, we’re making this one our bet of the week and part company with our final £4.

    Sanchez still worth a captain punt if you have a good back up? If he really is injured he is unlikely to come on as sub right?

    1. The Light Knight
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yep

    2. Dr. Agabuse
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      He could be a sub after all

    3. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Bad idea. You don't need to (c) him that badly

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Why? You think he will come on as sub? Can't see it myself if he doesn't start

      Chance of a cameo of the bench though. Im gonna start, but not captain him

      • 13 Years

      I agree. Unlikely to come on with their dearth of options

    Desperate call for help please!!

    Decided to WC due to number of players unavailable. But my selling values are much lower than current price for Sanchez, Costa and Fab.

    Should I hold them? Or hope they all fall in price?

    1. Rabbinton
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Costa has to go and I'm keeping Alexis

  3. Pedram
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    What do you think about this WC draft? have 3.2 in the bank.

    Foster - Panti
    Bertrand - Kos - Jones - PVA - Wisdom
    Hazard - ADM - Cazorla - Puncheon
    Aguero - Giroud - Pelle

    Would appreciate any advice.

    A. Walcott/Ramsey/Cazorla
    B. Sterling/Silva /Mata/AdM
    C. Elia/any alternative for a 5.5 or lower MF

    Idealy I want Walcott AdM and Elia but I'm 0.1 short. Any advice?

      1. Dr. Agabuse
        • 11 Years

      Looks good! Do you think 442 will benefit ADM? Or will I stick with Giroud captain?

  19. Timtastic03
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Likelihood of Fab playing?

    1. Andy1
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      75% IMO

    2. Funkyav
      • 14 Years

    3. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Last 30 if we are behind

  20. Ace Ventura
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Sorry lost on bottom.

    Should I transfer Fab ---> Hazard - will cost 1.7m?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Now lost on old article.
      No.

  21. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Pantilimon or Foster for WC goalkeeper?

    1. najk
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      None of them. Panti does a lot of saves but SUN are crappy att defending. Begovic or Forster.

  22. OptimusBlack
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Which is better ??

    A- Sanchez > Cazorla or Walcott for - 4 pts

    B- Play Boyd & Bench Sanchez

  23. Gooner97
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    If Lennon goes to Hull, would you take a punt on him?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      Yep

  24. jaco
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

  25. DIegoCosta19
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Sanchez -> Cazorla

    Costa -> Rooney/Giroud

  26. Cesc in the city
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    ADM or Cazorla on the WC?
    Also have Sanchez and Giroud

  27. HP.
    • 10 Years

    Is Falcao likely to start?

  28. Holmes
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I might lose faith in United's player if Maria fails to get something today 😆
